Paleo Conversations: Dr. Amy Myers

This week on Paleo Conversations, I chat with Amy Myers, MD, a renowned leader in Functional Medicine and 2x New York Times Bestselling author of The Autoimmune Solution and The Thyroid Connection. She is the founder and medical director of Austin UltraHealth, a functional medicine clinic that treats patients from all over the world who are overcoming chronic illness. She has been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, The New York Post, Women’s Health, Huffington Post, and numerous other television programs, radio shows, and print publications. She has helped thousands recover from chronic illness through her dietary-based program, The Myers Way®, and she has created multiple programs, tools, and free resources to guide readers through her revolutionary approach to health.

In her new book, The Thyroid Connection, Dr. Myers shows you how to work with your doctor to determine if you have thyroid dysfunction, what the root cause is, and most importantly, how to overcome it and get your life and your health back.

You will learn:

Why there is a thyroid epidemic and how conventional medicine is missing the boat

How to work with your doctor to get the correct diagnosis

What blood tests to ask for, as well as what they mean

The role of gut health, diet, toxins, infections, and stress in thyroid dysfunction

Paleo Conversations is a semi-regular YouTube series designed to be a conversation between myself and other bloggers, authors, and entrepreneurs within the Paleo, Ancestral, Traditional Foods, and Alternative Health Communities. Rather than an interview, the approach is more like the conversation that would happen at a coffee shop should my guest and I meet up. These videos are unscripted, rarely edited (if ever edited, they are edited for length not content), and hopefully give the viewer a window into the lives, thoughts, plans, and projects of leading voices in this community.
